Derby County prepare to entertain Leeds United at Pride Park at lunchtime on Sunday, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 19 of the 51 previous games, with the Rams winning just 18.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pride Park was just last season, in February 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.
